Our annual lobbying law update includes a special focus on a new election law that regulates activity by organizations and businesses. Our seminar also highlights dramatic developments in lobbying law—and new interpretations by regulators at the federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal levels of government.
Government relations is a regulated activity. The rules are complex and varied. Enforcement is real. And—CEOs are liable. Lobbying laws create compliance risks for businesses, organizations and consultants. Are you in compliance?
Federal election law creates additional compliance risks. Effective June 30, businesses and organizations will engage in regulated activity if they conduct partisan advertising, partisan activities or election surveys. Once the election period begins merely communicating about a policy issue may be a regulated activity. Does your organization understand its rights and obligations?
Fasken is Canada’s leader in legal advice and representation on lobbying law compliance and other aspects of political law. This exclusive presentation, delivered by the country's leading legal experts on lobbying law, provides an in-depth focus on new developments. It will help you ensure your business or organization is compliance-focused.
